Ok, well I’m getting pretty tired of people saying that Bella and Edward’s relationship is love. It’s not. It’s just lust. Let’s look at the clues:
-She sees him and thinks he’s gorgeous.
-He likes her smell.
-He’s a vampire.
    Now, before I start Pagsulat about these points, I would like to compare the relationship to that of Snape and Lily. Yes, they have never gone out but they didn’t need to. Snape met Lily when they were little. He probably thought she was pretty and developed a crush on her which bloomed into love. When Snape found out she was dating James, he was angry. He tried to hex James numerous times, but failed, maybe because he was too upset or because James is an excellent wizard, you pick. But then tragedy struck. Lily and James die. Snape was horrorstruck. He promised Dumbledore that he would turn spy for the Order of the Phoenix (which is a group against Voldemort). When Harry, James’ and Lily’s son, goes to Hogwarts, he protects him. He may hate him with a passion because of the stunning resemblance to James, but he protects harry nevertheless. That true love: Loving someone until their death and the beyond.
    She sees him and thinks he’s gorgeous:
    That’s basically what happens in Twilight. Bella sits with her ‘friends’, who she constantly uses, and they talk about the Cullens. Bella immediately thinks the one who the most ‘handsomest’ out of them should be her boyfriend, even if he is rude and there are other suitable choices for her to go out with. That’s lust. Bella only likes Edward because he’s handsome (read the books for 20 other synonyms of beautiful). It’s not a crush, which would be too immature for the ‘mature’ Bella Swan, because she knows nothing about him. Snape knew some things about Lily. She’s a witch. No one in her family is a witch or wizard and Snape knows most of her family. Bella just knows that his (Edward’s) brothers and sisters and that he’s adopted like the rest of them. Oh, and not to mention, he’s handsome!
    He likes her smell:
    That’s the only real reason Edward likes her. She smells very good and he can’t read her mind. That’s it. He breaks into her house and stalks her because he wants to know why he can’t read her mind and, of course, as any normal being would do, smell her. Meyer excuses that as Edward just wants to see someone sleep and finds Bella interesting. She excuses that as love. Wrong. Snape did not do that, which he could’ve since he knew magic. Instead, he introduced himself, started to hang out with Lily, and became her friend. Edward did not do that. He was rude to Bella, went to see her sleep, and then talked to her.
    He’s a vampire:
    You have got to be kidding. He sparkles in the sun and does not eat humans. Bella only found that out sa pamamagitan ng leading Jacob on, which becomes a problem in the future. She then feels that she has to keep the secret and not tell anyone that Edward is a monster who would likely kill a person before leaving. Instead of doing the latter, she dates him! Yep, he’s a vampire so she’s going to petsa him. Bella is claimed to be smart and reads. Well, then, she should’ve read Interview with a Vampire, a classic that many intelligent people have read. She should’ve seen that Edward could’ve bitten her and started sucking her blood, such as Lestat does to countless women and Louis does to Claudia. Or, she could’ve read Dracula, which shows Mina getting bitten also. Bella purposely dances with danger and feels the need to petsa him. Why? Because he’s smoking hot and a vampire to boot. He’s immortal. Why wouldn’t she petsa him!?!
    Basically, Bella’s pag-ibig is lust. She knows nothing about Edward! All they do is make out and say how they pag-ibig each madami than the other. They have not had one decent conversation together. They don’t know each other’s paborito colors, hobbies... Heck! We don’t know their hobbies! And hunting does not count because they don’t do it when they’re bored.
    Now, please do not be Bella and tickle a sleeping dragon. Never tickle a sleeping dragon.
